Table 1 Instructions: Provide the total number of current faculty members, predoctoral trainees, and postdoctoral trainees in each participating department/program. Faculty members may be counted more than once if they participate in a departmental as well as an interdepartmental program(s). Predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees are counted only once and should be associated with a single department or program. In brackets, indicate the number of predoctoral trainees and postdoctoral trainees who are supported by any NIH training grant. Indicate the number of faculty members participating in this training grant application, and the numbers of predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with the participating faculty. In parentheses, put the number of trainees with the participating faculty who are Kirschstein-NRSA training grant eligible (TGE). Include the number of TGE predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees who are from underrepresented groups that fulfill the diversity requirement: TGE predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees who are underrepresented minorities (Group A), who are individuals with disabilities (Group B), or who are individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (Group C). Individuals may be counted in more than one of these groups if applicable. Data on Group C may not be required by the specific instructions in the FOA to which you are responding.

Table 4 Instructions: For each participating faculty member, list active and pending research grant and contract support from all sources (including Federal, non-Federal, and institutional research grant and contract support) that will provide the context for research training experiences. Exclude research training grants. If none, state "None." Include the role of the participating faculty member (PD/PI, co-investigator, etc.) in the grant and grant title; source of support, grant number, and status (use an asterisk (*) to indicate pending sources of support); dates of the entire project period; and the current year annual direct costs. If the source of support is part of a multiple project grant (for example, a P01), additionally identify the PD/PI of the overall project, and provide the above information for that component of the grant with which the faculty member is associated. For grants with major budget changes in future years such as clinical trials, include the total direct costs of the award in parentheses. Do not list grants that have expired unless a pending continuation application has been submitted.

Summarize these data in the Program Plan Section 2.3.b Program Faculty. Analyze the data in terms of total and average grant support. Comment on the inclusion of faculty without research grant support and explain how the research of students that may work with them would be supported.


Rationale: This table provides evidence of the strength of the research environment, the availability of funds to support research conducted by the trainees, and the appropriateness of the participating faculty members in terms of their active research support.

Read FOA, SF424 (R&R) Application Guide Section 8, and Introduction to NRSA Data Tables first.

List publications of representative previous predoctoral trainees and of ALL current predoctoral trainees of the proposed mentors. Only include previous trainees over the last ten years and only trainees who would have been considered for appointment, if this program had been supported by an NIH training grant during their period of training. Sort trainees by Mentor. For each mentor, group past trainees separately from current trainees. Sort each group by the year of entry into the graduate program. In parenthesis, include the year the trainee started graduate studies, and if appropriate, when they completed their training. Designate Kirschstein-NSRA training grant eligible trainees (TGE) by an asterisk (*). List all publications of trainees resulting from their period of training in the faculty member’s laboratory or in association with the training program, through completion of their doctoral degree regardless of when the publication actually appeared. List abstracts only if a more complete publication has not appeared and label these clearly as abstracts. List publications followed by abstracts in chronological order. Boldface the trainee’s name in the author list.

Summarize these data in the body of the proposal. For example, what is the average number of papers published by trainees, how many as first author, how many trainees graduate without any first author publication.

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/424/index.htm#datatables_intro




Rationale: This information provides an indicator of the ability of the mentor to foster trainee productivity and allows assessment of the research quality and authorship priority of previous predoctoral trainees.

Table 7A Instructions: For each participating department/program for each of the past 5 years, list the following information: number(s) of individuals who have formally applied for training; have been accepted for admission; enrolled; are still in the program; completed the program; and left the program. In parenthesis, put the number of the trainees in each group who were Kirschstein-NRSA training grant eligible (TGE). Where indicated, include the number of TGE trainees who were underrepresented minorities (Group A), the number of the TGE trainees who were individuals with disabilities (Group B), and the number of the TGE trainees who were individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (Group C). Data on Group C may not be required by the specific instructions in the FOA to which you are responding. Do not include students admitted solely to obtain master’s degrees. For those who left the program without completing their



training, include the reason for leaving the program. Sort data by department/program and then by year. For programs with multiple entering department/program trainee pools, provide totals for each year, and sums and averages.

Summarize these data in the Program Plan Section 2.3.e Trainee Candidates. Analyze the data in terms of the overall numbers of potential trainees, their sources and enrollment trends, their eligibility for Kirschstein-NRSA support, diversity, and overall success in completing the training program.

Rationale: These data permit the evaluation of the participating departments/programs’ abilities to recruit and retain predoctoral trainees through the completion of their PhD requirements. The data permit separate analyses of total trainees, TGE trainees, and the diversity of the trainees. These data are useful in determining the selectivity of the admissions process, the success of recruitment and retention of trainees from diverse backgrounds, and the appropriate number of training positions to be awarded.

Table 8A Instructions: List the qualifications and application outcomes of predoctoral applicants to each participating department/program for the most recent year. Applicants should be listed anonymously and identified by a number in sequence, rather than by name, to safeguard privacy. Indicate applicants who are Kirschstein-NRSA training grant eligible (TGE) with an asterisk (*). For each applicant provide: previous institution(s) attended, degree(s) and year awarded; GPA normalized to a 4.0 scale; and GRE scores for Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical tests, and any Subject tests if taken (and/or percentiles) or MCAT scores Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Writing Sample (or DAT scores if relevant). Indicate which applicants were or were not interviewed; accepted; and enrolled. For those who declined an offer of admission, indicate the institution in which they enrolled, if this is known. For renewal applications, indicate those applicants who have been or are currently supported by this grant. Sort applicants by department/program and then in the following order: 1) those who enrolled; 2) those who were accepted, but did not enroll; 3) those who were interviewed, but not offered admission; and 4) any additional applicants that would have been seriously considered for admission, if sufficient funds were available to support them. It may be appropriate to truncate this data after the first 10-20% of those who were not accepted. Applicants are strongly urged to contact IC staff mentioned in the FOA for guidance on what data to include in this table.

At the bottom of the table include summary statistics: average GRE and/or MCAT/DAT scores and average GPAs of all applicants listed; and total numbers of students interviewed, offered admission, and enrolled. Indicate the numbers in each group who were TGE. Average GRE and/or MCAT/DAT scores and average GPAs for students who were accepted, and for those who enrolled, would also be useful to include.

Summarize these data in the Program Plan Section 2.3.e Trainee Candidates. Analyze the data in terms of the overall numbers of potential trainees, their previous training, and credentials.

Rationale: The data provided in this table will permit an evaluation of the quality and depth of the applicant pool. The data permit separate analyses for TGE and non-TGE applicants. These data are useful in determining the selectivity of the admissions process, the competitiveness of the program, and the appropriate number of training positions to be awarded.

Sort trainees by year of admission into the program, then by department/program through which they were recruited. Group Kirschstein-NRSA training grant eligible (TGE) trainees first, followed by non-TGE trainees. At the bottom of the table, include summary statistics: average GPAs and average GRE and/or MCAT/DAT scores of all trainees and summary totals for all trainees and TGE trainees.




Summarize these data in the Program Plan Section 2.3.e Trainee Candidates. Analyze the data in terms of the overall numbers of potential trainees, their previous training, and credentials.

Rationale: These data are useful in determining the number and quality of all trainees currently enrolled in the program, and their distribution by department and mentor. These data are useful in determining the appropriate number of training positions to be awarded.

Table 10 Instructions: List anonymously by number all underrepresented minority (URM) trainees, trainees with disabilities, and trainees from disadvantaged backgrounds (previously defined) who have been or are currently clearly associated with the training program for the past 5 years, regardless of their source of support. For renewal applications, include all trainees supported by the training grant in any year of their studies and include equivalent trainees from the same training cohort. For New Applications, include trainees whose training experience is similar to that for the proposed training grant program. Indicate their year of entry, whether predoctoral or postdoctoral trainee, entering department/program, and all sources of support during their training with the program (bold grant number if for this training grant). Indicate their current status (i.e., in training, completed training, or left without completing training). For those who have left the program or completed training, include information about their subsequent career development or employment. Indicate Kirschstein-NRSA training grant eligible (TGE) trainees with an asterisk (*). For mixed training grant programs, list predoctoral trainees first and then postdoctoral trainees in each diversity category.
